Brazil celebrated Independence Day on September 7 in a context marked by political tensions and electoral campaigns. President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva attended the traditional military parade in Brasília, reinforcing his presence on the date symbolizing national identity.
In the federal capital, Senator Flavio Bolsonaro, son of former President Jair Bolsonaro, participated in a protest against Minister Alexandre de Moraes of the Supreme Federal Court (STF). The event demonstrated the continuation of right-wing criticism of the Brazilian judiciary.
The celebrations were also marked by the dispute over the case of Daniel Vorcaro, a banker who chairs Banco Ático and was arrested by Operation Car Wash. The case became a campaign theme among different sides of the political spectrum, with both exploiting the revelations in their favor.
The event highlighted the polarization dominating the Brazilian political scene, with patriotic celebrations serving as a stage for clashes between different ideological currents.
